FRENCH CRUISE BUILDER OFFFERS NEW SERVICES AND SOLUTIONS

Tuesday, April 9, 2019

Chantiers de l’Atlantique has launched a new set of services, solutions and systems, marketed under the name of Atlantique +, which aims at bringing added value to customers.

Based on experience in servicing, maintenance and modernsation of cruise ships along their life cycle, Atlantique + includes innovative and efficient solutions in three main areas: Energy/Environment, Operations, and Guest experience.

In the area of Energy/Environment, Chantiers de l’Atlantique, through its Atlantique + Ecorizon service, allows cruise ship operators to achieve significant energy savings and improve the environmental footprint of their ships in operation. These services use a two-step process: an energy efficiency assessment followed by a weekly energy efficiency monitoring. The operators may include training in the service provision, Chantiers de l’Atlantique says its Ecorizon experts have already helped customers achieve 16% average fuel savings in 2018.

Another example of innovative technology used to reduce both energy consumption and emissions is given by Solid Sail, a performing, foldable, full composite sail, intended to be robust and easy to manoeuvre. This solution, developed by Chantiers de l’Atlantique, is currently on trial onboard a cruise ship from Compagnie du Ponant.

In the area of Operations, Atlantique + offers smart services aimed at improving conditions of navigation, safety and maintenance. In the area of Guest experience, it proposes innovative added value infrastructure solutions for cabins, sun decks and public spaces.
